I habe inconsistent BLE connections on Android using
and firmware 2.6.11
@shalberd That is lacking in usefulness enough to get you removed from closed. Symptoms, logs, hardware spec are the bare minimum.
That is lacking in usefulness enough to get you removed from closed
the ticket is not closed ... well, I did get removed / kicked off Bluetooth randomly when using Android App v2.7.-closed.1.
However, now, using the latest build release https://github.com/meshtastic/Meshtastic-Android/releases/tag/v2.7.0-closed.2 from today, no more BLE issues.
Looks like BLE connectivity parts are a bit related the the latest builds being a rush job, which is ok. Just wanted to say: issue no longer occuring for me, I can move out of BLE range, get back in, now I get reconnected, no issues.
@shalberd you aren't part of the test group. Downloading unreleased test builds will lead to instability due to the nature of development. Don't do that if you want stable.
I never expected perfection, just wanted to give feedback, never mind ... no hard feelings from my side
@shalberd Sorry, I just assumed that if you were on that build, you were in the 'closed testing' group rather than grabbing it yourself. We appreciate the feedback, but we need details, especially with these longer fix bugs, and even more so if you are on the test builds. The reason we've gone to closed groups is to try and get more specific feedback, and less "This doesn't work"
Saw my report was closed and I was directed here (thought mine was more of an app issue than a bluetooth one). I wanted to update that the issue I was having is not happening on 2.7.1 of the app with any device.

this is a parent ticket for overall app bt issues, which yours counts as 🤷 , we don't need duplicate tickets for same root cause.

Understandable, apologies.
Android app never reconnects to a node unless force-closed.
STR
- Connect to a node via BLE.
- Go away from the node until the app shows the node as disconnected.
- Walk back to the node.
The app never reconnects to the node, even if you click on it in the nodes list. It must be force-closed and restarted to reconnect.
Android log shows:
I/bt_stack(21209): [INFO:btm_ble_bgconn.cc(429)] Already connection initiated (or) No Pending connections(or) Resources of lcb are exhausted and E/bt_btm(21209): btm_ble_read_remote_features_complete: failed for handle: 0x0009, status 0x3e
Android 13, app v2.7.4 (29319275) google.
2.7.7 (29319413) google
Drops the connection again.
I cant makeout a pattern. It stays sometime for 20 minutes, sometimes it drops it after 2 to 5 minutes and so on. Different devices (Heltec V3, Tpager, Tdeck, T114), the same on all of them. different FW versions, 2.7.13 - 2.7.15.
edit
I also notices the BL strengt show allways a bad reception now. The devices sit on the same table.
I have a Huawei Mate 10 Pro running Android 12. Meshtastic Android APK version 2.75 works fine with Bluetooth.
But versions 2.76 and 2.77 do not work with any device — neither Heltec nor SenseCAP T1000E.
So I reinstalled the older 2.75 APK, and luckily sideloading still works on Android. That was the only solution. I tried everything: removing devices, deleting the app, reinstalling — nothing helped. The beta version also doesn’t work with Bluetooth or IP.
Sadly, my Meshtastic devices are useless without Bluetooth, unless I use a USB-C cable from the Heltec to my phone.
You’re doing a great job, but Bluetooth is very important because most devices depend on it. I hope you can find a solution and make it work again.

Here are some logs from my Pixel 7a running android 16 with Meshtastic 2.7.7 (29319424) during the time where the app would not connect to my T1000-E. I have the same issue on my Pixel 9a with the same android/version. Rolling meshtastic back to 2.7.5 works. As mentioned in #3812:
